Health: Colour Therapy

The rainbow inside us. There are seven energy wheels (chakras) that are reflecting the colours of the rainbow. They are situated within the endocrine glands and are closely related to our organs, nervous system and emotions. Each chakra vibrates on a specific colour frequency yet they are in constant energetic c o r r e s p o n d e n c e with each other. A balanced chakra system reflects bright colours, the energy flows freely and we are in a healthy, happy and peaceful state. Unbalance in any chakra leads to a change in colour, blockage of energy, emotional stress and eventually shows in form of physical ailments.

Colour Therapy:
Colour Therapy is an ancient holistic healing way to balance our chakra system. There are various methods of applying colour to the body. I use the technique of visualisation, giving the mind the colour impulses needed to restore balance within the chakras that are blocked. Sounds unbelievable? Yet if belief can move mountains then surely we can turn this rainbow inside of us into a bright and colourful one to restore health and happiness.
Be the rainbow that you are. For more information on a colour therapy
